Description Jim.Pirzyk 2001-08-07 22:10:01 UTC 
	When telnet'ing as root into a FreeBSD host from a non FreeBSD host,
	you need to modify the /etc/ttys file to allow root access.  When allowing
	rsh/rlogin access, you have to modify /etc/login.access.

Fix: This patch disables the use of the rootterm() function in login.c
	This then defaults to using the /etc/login.access file for the telnetd
	sessions.
How-To-Repeat: 	Setup a freebsd box that allows root access over the net, then try to
	login from another non freebsd box.
